Description:
I tried to use syslinux but it failed complaining about 'mcopy' command missing. So I installed mtools and it solved the problem. syslinux should require to install mtools as an external dependency.

Maybe it would help if you could say what command you typed and/or what the error message was...
On my computers, syslinux works great without mtools.
